Martin...
Thanks so much for the reply... I stared seeing the crashes about a week ago... Bridge has no problem starting and I do get to use it a little but it randomly crashes when I start to examine a different folder with images. Unfortunately, Also I had not been doing backups for about 3 weeks now as I had a power adapter dock for my thunderbolt drive fail and am waiting for a replacement to come from Seagate. I just purchased a new 4TB drive a couple of days ago to be able to back my IMac up in the meantime.... these rashes started happening before I started backing up again.
Your input is very much though!
Thanks...
C. Paul
